Brazil: Court Rulings Govt Account Practices Illegal
  • 9 years ago
Brazil's Federal Accounts Court ruled that the government's 2014 accounting practices were illegal and should be rejected. The ruling is a setback for President Dilma Rousseff who faces declining popularity in the polls. The court charged the government with taking loans from state-owned banks to make up for budget shortfalls. The ruling now goes to Congress, together with an electoral court decision on Tuesday that mandated an investigation into irregularities in Rousseff's 2014 election campaign. teleSUR
